The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos helps travelers from Smith Island, Maryland, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John, with villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort and local answers before you book.
Smith Island sits low and quiet in the Chesapeake Bay, and many of the people who call it home know what it means to live close to the water. If you are coming from there, a week of snorkeling and lazy beach days on St. John may feel like a very different kind of water altogether, clearer and warmer, with coral and fish close to the shore. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you a private base for that week, with room to rest between swims and a kitchen for simple breakfasts. St John Condos is a local team, and they will talk through the details with you before anything is booked, so you can decide with confidence.

Planning your snorkeling week from Smith Island
- Reaching St. John. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay. From Smith Island, you will likely connect through a larger hub first, so give yourself a relaxed margin on travel days. Ask the St John Condos team about the final leg before you book.
- Choosing your season. Smith Island winters are cold, so many travelers from Maryland look toward the Caribbean in the cooler months when the weather there is most pleasant. Snorkeling conditions shift with the seasons, so think about when you most want calm water and steady sun. The team can share what to expect for the dates you have in mind.
- Planning the stay. Villas are rented by the week, which suits a snorkeling trip well, since you can set your own pace of early swims and afternoon naps. Pick a villa close to the beaches you want to visit, and plan a day or two for rest. On St. John, driving is on the left, so keep that in mind if you rent a car.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a car for a snorkeling week on St. John?
It depends on your plans. Many visitors rent a car to reach different beaches on their own schedule, and driving on the island is on the left. If you prefer to stay put, choose a villa near the beaches you care about most and ask the St John Condos team what getting around will be like for your stay.
Is a villa better than a hotel room for a beach-focused trip from Smith Island?
A villa gives you a kitchen, more space, and a home base for gear, towels, and rinsing off after salt water. Many travelers from Smith Island find that comfortable for a full week.
